Description

Cold forming tools experience significant mechanical and tribological stresses throughout their operational lifespan, which in some instances can result in premature damage to the tools. Given that these tools constitute a substantial portion of the manufacturing costs for components, it is crucial to proactively address potential issues during the design phase. The COLDFORM® software offers the ability to assess the mechanical strength of dies, thereby enhancing their longevity. It calculates stress distribution within the die, as well as monitoring deformations, wear, temperature variations, and any damage that may occur throughout the process. Furthermore, COLDFORM® can perform quick analyses by applying the stresses derived from the forming process to the tools. Additionally, the software supports coupled part/tool simulations, yielding highly accurate outcomes. With features focused on pre-stressed dies, it allows for precise assessment of the required pre-stressing for the interference fit of the tools. This capability ultimately aids manufacturers in optimizing tool performance and reducing costs associated with tool replacements.

Description

Simpack is a versatile multibody system simulation (MBS) software that allows engineers and analysts to model and simulate the complex non-linear movements of various mechanical and mechatronic systems. This tool empowers users to create and analyze virtual 3D representations, facilitating the prediction and visualization of dynamic behaviors, along with associated forces and stresses. While primarily utilized in sectors such as automotive, engine, HIL/SIL/MIL, power transmission, railway, and wind energy, its applications extend across all fields of mechanical engineering. Notably, Simpack excels in conducting high-frequency transient analyses, including those in the acoustic range, making it a valuable asset for engineers. Originally designed to address intricate non-linear models featuring flexible bodies and severe shock interactions, Simpack continues to evolve to meet the demands of modern engineering challenges. Its adaptability ensures that a wide array of engineering problems can be effectively tackled using this advanced simulation tool.
